1Opinion of the Court
McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge.
Clarence McCann (“petitioner”) appeals from a final order entered in the United States District Court 1 for the Eastern District of Missouri denying his pro se application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. For reversal, petitioner argues that the district court erred in (1) refusing to hold an evidentiary hearing; (2) holding, on the merits, that petitioner’s trial counsel was not ineffective; and (3) failing to appoint counsel. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the order of the district court.
